Lefties

Post by xtopher »

Hi folks,

Popping out of lurkdom briefly to post an article about an artist paralyzed by a stroke, and thus forced to paint with her left hand: https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB958084527693822095

I read this article when it came out (almost 21 years ago!), and it has stuck with me ever since. Obviously, it reminded me of Joe...his "unburdened" style of playing and singing (a "celtic shaman", as CK put it). I've searched for this article before, but it's always been behind the WSJ paywall, but it's out now so I thought I'd share it before it disappears again.

Hi Marky,

Too much real life...not enough time for fun. But I've been meaning to ping you - watch for a PM this weekend!
